Let there be light!
Ever crashed into an asteroid because all you saw was a black spot on the black background?

- There is now a hotkey to... drop a flare 2km behind your ship.
- This uses up 1 missile.
Type of used missile and resulting flare duration:Other missiles are not used.Code: Select all
1. Firefly / Feuerfalter 105 s 2. Dragonfly / Libelle 150 s 3. Aurora 150 s 4. Mosquito 45 s
- Missiles that "burn longer" also shine a little brighter.
A mosquito is still far better than no light at all...
The light grows slightly darker as the flare burns out. - If you click multiple times, you use up 1 missile for each click but the flare duration doubles with every click.
Convenient if you're planning to stay in this sector for a while. - If you are targeting one of your own ships, this ship will drop a flare using the same rules.
Having to transfer the missile to your personal ship before you can launch a flare would be silly...
